D Correct answer
Explanation

Tenacious means holding firmly to something, persistent or determined. The homeowners 'were finally allowed to talk with the mayor' after some struggle - they had to be persistent to get this opportunity. 'Volatile' means changeable, 'intimidating' means threatening, and 'indulgent' means lenient - none fit.
